Days after the Mantralaya in Mumbai witnessed two suicides, the Maharashtra government has installed a safety net at the building's second floor-level to avoid further such incidents.

The net was installed just a week after a murder convict died after jumping off the fifth floor of the building. In another unrelated incident, a farmer consumed poison on the sixth floor of the building.

Due to the recent incidents, security measures have also been tightened at the building as the government plans to put restrictions on the entry of visitors without an appointment. They also plan to put up an administrative desk outside the building for people willing to submit letters.
